Zorza

🥓
Photo coming soon

It's essentially chorizo filling grilled loose, without ever going into a sausage casing at all, so all the paprika and garlic flavor cooks directly onto the meat.

Zorza is chopped pork marinated in paprika, garlic, and oregano, the same seasoning used for chorizo, but grilled or fried loose instead of stuffed into casing. Galician market stalls and village fiestas serve it hot in a roll or on a skewer.

Why it's made this way: It comes from the same pig-slaughter (matanza) tradition as Galician chorizo, using the marinated meat before it ever reaches the sausage stage.
